Notes

For a dairy-free option, swap butter for olive oil. Use fresh parsley for the best flavor, but dried can be used in a pinch. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days; reheat gently in a skillet to preserve texture. For longer storage, freeze uncooked shrimp with the garlic butter mixture and thaw before cooking.
